the CLARION Gabelein to Speak
At Honors Convo
Don Pasquale', Comic Opera,
To Be Staged By Turnau Players
Volume X XXVII—No. 2 Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. Thursday, September 29, 1960 Frank Gabelein, headmaster of the Stony Brook Boys' school, New
York, will speak at the opening formal academic convocation on Friday
at 10 a.m. in the fieldhouse.
The first in a series of four
evening convocations will be held
October 4 at 8 p.m. in the college
chapel. Featured in the program
that evening will be the Turnau
Opera players in a presentation of
the comic opera "Don Pasquale".
The opera will be sung in English
with specially designed scenery and
supplementary lighting for on-the-road
engagements.
Alan Baker, baritone and Caro-lyn
Chrisman, soprano, will sing
the leading roles in the opera by
Donizetti. Others in the production
are Ray DeVol, tenor; Eugene
Green, bass; Spiro Malas, bass;
and Lucille Sudlam, soprano.
The Turnau Opera Players be-gan
their work in 1955 under the
direction of the late Josef Turnau,
with a season of 38 performances
in New York. They have since be-come
one of the fastest rising
opera companies in America. Re-cently
they completed a series of
performances during the winter
season in Sarasota, Florida. Ac-cording
to the Sarasota Herald Tri-bune,
"... the secret fo the Turnau
players concerns freshness, love of
singing, good acting, and a certain
added dash."
"It is a notable compliment, re-flecting
Sarasota's warm reception
of the company, that it has been
invited to return for another season
next winter."
Choir Rehearses
Festival choir meets in the
college chapel every Monday
and Wednesday mornings im-mediately
following chapel. All
college and seminary students
and faculty members are wel-come
to sing in this choir, ac-cording
to Julius Whitinger, as-sistant
professor of music.
This choral group sings at the
Festival of Christmas, Founders
Week, and the annual spring
commencement concert.
All the members of the music
faculty alternate in directing
the chorus.
Interested students should
contact Mr. Whitinger.
Mantoux Tests
Required By All
Mantoux tests are scheduled to
be given in the student lounge of
the college building on Oct. 4 and
5, between the hours of 8 a.m. and
3 p.m. This test is to determine
whether a person is infected with
the germs causing tuberculosis.
All persons at the college are re-quired
to take advantage of this
service. This list includes faculty,
staff, and students of both the col-lege
and seminary.
Eunice Peterson, the health ser-vice
nurse, stated that the test is
very important, not only from a
personal standpoint but also for
the health of the college and com-munity.
by Ellen Polk
This coming Monday, at precise-ly
7:30 a.m., season opens on men
(bag limit-2). From that time
through the following Saturday
evening a topsy-turvy state will
characterize our Bethel campus.
That very Saturday is the one out
of 52 when dreams come true —
each girl can be assured of a date,
and no fellow has to spend a dime.
Yes, this coming week is the sea-son
of Nikolinas Dag, sophomore-sponsored
and traditional turna-bout,
when girls grow aggressive
and the fellows relax—ideally, at
least. At this time the feminine
counterpart plays the masculine
role, pays her date every courtesy
and the waiter the check.
Each girl must fashion a corsage
for her date, basing it on his name,
Cars Registered
It is necessary that everyone on
campus using a car have it regis-tered
in the student affairs office.
Students and faculty who do not
have their cars registered should
do so.

hobby, sport, chosen field, or what-ever
else pops into her mind. They
will be displayed by the boys and
judged at the program.
After presenting her date with
the corsage, the girl takes him out
for dinner, showing him—of course
—each courtesy. A Southern musi-cal
comedy will begin at 8:30 at
the Prudential building in Minne-apolis,
3701 Wayzata Boulevard.
There will be time afterwards for
powwows, bowling, houseparties,
etc.
General Director and Honorable
Gamewarden is James Spickel-meir.
Members of his committee
are Nancy Gustafson, program dir-ector;
LeRoyce Hohn, publicity dir-ector,
and Emily Mattson, stage
manager. Tickets will be on sale
next week in the student lounge
for 50 cents, which is a consider-able
reduction in price from past
years.
Spire Staff
Initiates New
Annual Format
by Peggy Leunk
Co-Literary Editor of the SPIRE
The Spire staff has been con-fronted
with the question, "why a
yearbook ?" Indeed, why is a pub-lication
of this kind necessary at
Bethel ?
The yearbook is produced for
the sake of the students
themselves; for their enjoyment
in recalling to mind pleasant ex-periences
of the past year. One
of the purposes of the yearbook is
identifying the faces of those
friends whom one has made in a
year at Bethel.
A yearbook is for assistance in
exhibiting Bethel college to those
apart from the campus life; to
those interested in Bethel as pro-spective
students.
Another purpose is to represent
the students in each phase of their
college lives, academically, spirit-ually,
and socially.
The Spire staff feels that to
have an accurate representation we
must present the Bethel student
as a fully integrated student; a
student with many faces, but a
student with the ability to know
himself and to be able to assemble
these many facets into his total
being.
The yearbook is a student pub-lication
and the student should
feel a definite part of its eventual
accomplishment; and with the
thought of integration in mind,
The Spire staff would endeavor to
present to the student an individual
part in the completion of the 1960-
61 yearbook.
A contest is to be conducted
within the various academic de-partments
and the students are
asked to participate in this con-
(continued p. 3)
The college band, under the dir-ection
of Julius Whitinger, will
play the processional and reces-sional.
The marshals are Thelma
Frederickson and George Dvirnik,
who maintained the highest grade
point average of the junior class
of the college and the middle class
of the seminary last year.
Those receiving freshman honors
are students who maintained a 2.5
average in their freshman year.
They are: Sharon Dickau, Curtis
Hallstrom, Paul Johnson, Alan
Larson, Annette Larson, Emily
Mattson, Richard Nelson and
James Spickelmier.
Full tuition scholarships of $550
were awarded to the following
upper classmen who maintained a
2.5 average in their junior and
senior year: Anna Anderson, Mar-ilyn
Benson, Paul Edwin Carlson,
Wanda Chandler, Raymond Dun-can,
Thelma Frederickson, Louise

Truman Turnquist, Marie Valdas,
and Gail Westoby.
Also recognized will be the win-ners

Donald Lantz
Teaches and
Works on PhD
by Marilyn Benson
Donald Lantz is one of the fac-ulty
members currently working
on his Ph.D. at the University of
Minnesota. A graduate of Wheaton
college, Mr. Lantz, assistant pro-fessor
of biology, is now at Bethel
on a full-time basis. He first be-gan
teaching at Bethel as a labor-atory
assistant in the biological
science department while he at-tended
seminary.
He has also taught at Whittier
high school, the University of Min-nesota,
and St. Cloud State col-lege.
In addition to this varied
teaching experience, Mr. Lantz has
worked in the field of student
counseling. His knowledge and
background in this area have been
put to use on campus by the fac-ulty's
student personnel committee.
Underlying his reasons for corn-ing
to the Bethel campus is his

Rachel Koefod Charms Audience;
Plays In Concert Season Opener
Pert, diminuative Rachel Koefod
thoroughly charmed her audience
as she opened the concert season at
Bethel college with a piano recital
on Sept. 20 in the college chapel
under the auspices of the cultural
council.
Miss Koefod presented a pro-gram
from the standard piano lit-erature
but chose works which had
a strong popular appeal. The selec-tion
ranged from Scarlotti sonatas
to the Samuel Barber Excursion
No. 3. Miss Koefod had a technical
fluency at her command which was
especially noteworthy in her deli-cately
controlled pianissimo. The
softer works generally were skill-fully
presented. The two works by
Brahms, Intermezzo in B Flat
Major and Variations on a Theme
by Pagannini were well developed
and executed and were the high-lights
of the evening.
The presentation of some major
work in its entirety was absent.
This and the fact that so many
short selections were presented
gave the program a sort of pot-pourri
effect. If one felt particu-larly
dispeptic at the moment, he
might call the program a program
of piano moods. Music of the ro-mantic
period predominated and
music of a truly contemporary na-ture
was largely ignored.
Although possessing a firm
touch, the very great fortes were
out of the dynamic range of Miss
Koefod. It is regrettable that she
did not scale down her presenta-tion
so that the climactic fortis-simo
would not become pushed or
be inadequate. More attention could
have been given to understanding
the expressive possibilities inher-ent
in the subordinate configura-tions
of the music. This lack was
especially prevalent in the Chopin.
Writer's note — One quality of
an art is that it is a "subtle devia-tion
from the norm." When the
deviation does not exist the art
work is lifeless. When the devia-tion
is obvious (so true in our pre-sentation
of the gospel song) ar-tistic
unity and meaning are de-stroyed
and only sentimentality re-mains.
Judgment in this area is
dependent upon the qualities of
artistic awareness and imagery.
These qualities are not developed
just by intellectual exercise but
rather by living as a poet with an
awareness of life on its emotional
and aesthetic levels.

Editorial
Bonhoeffer Example Found Applicable
Know the Campaign Issues
To Contemporary Discipleship At Bethel
As far as the campus is concerned, religion appears
to be the major issue in the forthcoming general election on Nov. 8.
Never before has a man's religion played so important a role, except
possibly in the Al Smith campaign in 1928.
Granted, religion may be one of the valid issues in the campaign, but
students and others blindly judge the potential ability of a candidate by
his religious beliefs and convictions without considering which ticket the
man is running on or his party platform.
Do we know how a candidate stands on such issues as national de-fense,
foreign policy, the underdeveloped world, the U.N., agriculture,
civil rights, aid to education, veterans affairs or the American Indian ?
These are problems of which everyone of us, as college students, should
be keenly aware. We must form opinions and ideas concerning these
important points. When we decide what we believe concerning these
areas and resolve which of the two parties or which candidates we
more closely agree, we should join the party or back the candidate of
our choice. As intelligent citizens, this is our part in a free and demo-cratic
society. — LEB
Senate Program Aims
For Tangible Results
On a gray dawn fifteen scant years ago a mo-dern
martyr was executed by special order of the
Nazi General staff. In eighteen years since winning
his Ph.D. from Berlin, a 21 year old theologian had
sparked the resistance to the Nazi Regime of the
Confessing church. Issued a call from his native
church, Dietrich Bonhoeffer spent his last years in
pastoring the Confessional German church.
His prolific pen and dedicated mind produced
works reminiscent of the Apostolic age. Life To-gether
flows from seminary months living and
teaching under surveillance of the Gestapo. Of all
his works, one stands as a monument of theological
realism. This hero, to whom the gas chambers and
ovens of Buchenwald were no strangers, paid with
his life The Cost of Discipleship.
Seen in the abstract, life is not difficult to
promise to Christ. Yet Bonhoeffer sears the con-science
with his concrete walk on the path of the
sacred gibbet. Grace is costly and meant the sur-render
of each day to the searching light of the
Cross. "No Way without the going; no Truth with-out
the telling; no life without the living." An Eng-lish
officer, one of many whom Dietrch comforted
in Flossenburg prison camp, remembers forever that
eighth day of April, 1945. Bonhoeffer took him
aside, saying, "This is the end, but for me it is the
beginning of life."
What sort of living, what manner of telling,
what cost of going for the Bethel campus this
year? For this young German it was a prison camp;
for us is it a new car, a split-level house, a cultured
life? When shall we realize that grace is costly,
even as the price paid for us by the gracious Lord.
This world is not our permanent home. The endless
round of pleasure and the uncommitted life lead to
despair and nothingness. Our hearts are restless
till they find rest in God. Day by day and each
passing moment require strength to live. The prison
yard is not Bonhoeffer's home; the prospect of an
atomic grave need not slacken our faith.
Let us learn the lesson of a modern disciple!
He committed culture to the Christ and paid will-ingly
the price. On that grey April morn, Dietrich
Bonhoeffer, age 39, lived what he wrote; the way
of the Cross leads him Home!
July 21, 1944
"May God in his mercy lead us
through these times. But above
all may he lead us to himself!"

from Letters and Papers from Prison
by Bruce Leafblad
Student Senate President
A positive program of aggressive leadership with tangible results —
This characterizes the spirit which is pervading the student senate. The
senate has already had two official business sessions this fall. One of
these was an all-day workshop in which the basic program for the en-tire
year was planned by the cabinet and the senate councils. All signs
point to an interesting and busy year for student government at Bethel.
A positive program of aggressive leadership with tangible results —
This probably sounds interesting, but what do we really mean by it?
Well, let's break it down and take a closer look at the three principle
elements.
The first element is that of a positive program. By this we mean
that we have specific objectives in mind; there is purpose behind what
we do as a governmental body. To be satisfied with merely functioning
in a traditional manner, without subjecting our entire program to the
dictates of worthwhile goals, would be completely out of harmony with
our philosophy of effective student government. Tangent to these goals
are the methods of implementation which we believe will best achieve
the ends toward which our entire program is directed.
Some of the objectives to which the senate will be devoting much
time and effort this year: 1. An increase in the operational efficiency
of the senate; 2. A concern with matters and issues of a more signifi-cant
nature; 3. Greater participation in the senate by non-voting student
leaders; 4. A greater measure of personal interest displayed by the
student body; 5. Constant improvement in faculty, administration, and
student rapport; 6. Greater degree of co-ordination between the senate
and the student body; 7. Better communication between the senate and
the student body; 8. Implementation of a long-range planning program
extending for more than one year. This is just a portion of the many
objectives which are the foundations of this year's senate program. The
spirit of the senate is characterized by a positive program.
The second element is aggressive leadership. We do not mean to
imply anything negative when we use the term "aggressive". An ag-gressive
leader is one who is, first of all, completely "sold" on the
benefits, the intrinsic worth, and the underlying purposes of student
government. This type of leader recognizes that he is not just a leader
— he is also a servant. He is neither just a leader, nor just a servant.
The role of an aggressive leader is a unique, seemingly dichotomous
position in which his work is characterized by a faithful diligence be-fore
those whom he serves; yet he does not sit idly waiting for the
next command to come, but rather goes to those whom he serves to find
out what he can do for them. An aggressive leader does not assume
that "all is well" simply because students do not fill his desk with com-plaints
and problems; he goes to the students to find out what the
problems and complaints are — and he does something about them! The
aggressive leader is not afraid to take the problems of his students be-fore
those who have some control over the circumstances which sur-round
those problems, and he does not hesitate to speak out firmly,
frankly, and honestly in the students' behalf. He is not afraid to believe
something can be done about these matters. The spirit of the senate is
characterized by aggressive leadership.
The final element is that of tangible results. In the overall program
for the year, the senate aims to devote much of its time to matters of
such a significant nature that improvement in these areas will make a
considerable change in the complexion of these areas of concern. In
other words, the senate is directing its efforts toward making substan-tial
changes in the sore spots of campus life — changes that will make
Bethel a better place for everyone, and not just for this year, but for
years to come. The spirit of the senate is characterized by an aim at
tangible results.
Well, that's it — a positive program, aggressive leadership, tan-gible
results. That is the spirit of your senate. Do we have your support ?

"The Direct Approach," the
George Eastman House traveling
exhibition, will be on display in
the Bethel student lounge from
Oct. 1-31. Sponsored jointly by
school publications and the cul-tural
council, the display consists
of a selection of photographs by
noted American photographers.
The photographers, Edward Wes-ton,
Ansel Adams, Brett Weston,
and Pirkle Jones, have developed
a style which is particularly suited
to depicting the chosen subject
matter of these four photogra-phers,
natural forms and objects,
found mainly in the Pacific coast
region of the United States.
Their attitude is summarized in
a catalog prepared for a showing
of this exhibition at the University
of Redlands, Redlands, Calif.: "The
photographers . . . have been lead-ers
in asserting the essential char-acter
of photography as an inde-pendent
art. They have been
among the chief exponents of
`creative-expressive' photography
which embodies or symbolizes some
unique aspect of the photographer's
experience of reality as opposed to
that conception of photography
based only upon popular or fam-iliar
vision."
The exhibition consists of
twenty-eight original prints, as
well as an explanatory text.

commitment to public education.
Mr. Lantz says about Bethel,
"Here there is acceptance of the
individual. It is comparable to a
family relationship; we may not
always agree, but we -usually ac-cept
one another." This range of
intellectual freedom at Bethel not
found in other Christian schools is
one of the qualities he praises.
Mr. Lantz lives in St. Paul with
his wife Marilyn and their three
children, two girls and one boy.
Mrs. Lantz, a home economics and
science teacher, has taught in both
elementary and secondary schools.
Camping is an avid interest of the

Harvey R. Hill, Pastor
First Game is
13-7 Defeat
by Arnie Doerksen
The Bethel Royals met the ma-son
City Trojans in an exhibition
game on Friday, September 16, to
kick off the 1960 football series.
The Royals revealed their offen-sixe
tactics early in the first quar-ter
when Ken Baird completed a
pass to Dave Hagfeldt, who ran
49 yards for a touchdown. The ex-tra
point was then scored by Ken
Baird.
With the Royals leading 7-0,
Gary Yezek led the Trojans out of
their wooden horse to push the
Royals back 73 yards and score a
touchdown. However, a tackle by
175 pound Don McKelvey fouled
up their try for the conversion.
Excitement was in the stands
during the second quarter when
Mason City made a splendid kick
to Bethel's five-yard line. At this
point, the Royals defensive line
went into action, not only holding
the line, but pushing the oppon-ents
to a 38 yard loss and forcing
them to kick. Bill Holzworth re-turned
the punt to Bethel's 40 yard
line in a spectacular run. Ken Baird
then kept the bandwagon rolling
with another 38 yard run only to
see it all smashed when Mason
City completed a pass for a touch-down,
and continued their pressure
for a halftime score of 13-7.
The last five minutes of the
game saw the Trojans hammering
on the Royal line and sending it
from the five to the three to the
one-yard line, but finding it im-pregnatile.
At this time, the Roy-als
put forth their final bid for
glory. Ken Baird, not seeing any-one
to pass to, careened through
the opposition for a 30 yard gain.
The death blow came as Mason
City intercepted Baird's last pass,
to give Bethel its first loss of the
season, 13-7.
Captain of Bethel's 1960-61
cheerleading squad is Bonnie Blom-gren,
a sophomore from Tyler,
Minn. This is Bonnie's second year
as a member of the squad.
An innovation this year—John
Davis, a transfer student from
Des Moines, Iowa, will be the only
male member of the cheerleading
squad. Freshmen women comprise
the rest of the squad.
Jeanne Gould, of Waukegan, Ill.,
was chairman of the senior class
play in high school, was in pep
club and a girls' water ballet.
Hailing from Huntley, Minn., Anita
Sheplee was a yell leader for three
years and also homecoming queen
in high school. Also, a high school
cheerleader, Betty Guida, of Tyler,
Minn., was pep club secretary,
president of a Bible club, and ac-tive
in her area Youth for Christ.
Bethel's football squad collided
with a hard-hitting Lakeland line
on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 24,
and was handed its second defeat
of the 1960-61 season.
During the first quarter, the
Bethel Royals, with excellent block-ing
and tackling plunged and pass-ed
to what looked to be their first
success of the year, holding the
Lakeland eleven to a mere 22 yard
gain while they rushed for 7'3
yards, passed for 19 yards and ob-tained
three first downs. Drizzly
weather and a soggy gridiron did-n't
seem to faze the Royals as they
ripped holes in the Lakeland line.
But Bethel's ambitious hopes were
dashed by two Lakeland touch-downs
in the second half.
Mike Askley, Lakeland end,
charged four yards on a 25 yard
pass to score the first touchdown
in the third quarter. The conver-sion
try failed, but the play left
a hole in Bethel's line when Jack
McNaughton, Bethel end, suffered
a dislocated elbow. A combination
of errors and weather conditions
forced the Royals back to their
own two yard line. Bethel retreated
from the immediate danger zone
as an intercepted Lakeland pass by
Bill Holzworth earned Bethel a
first down. Launching a fierce at-tack,
the Bethel eleven hammered
in vain at a solid Lakeland line.
On the fourth down, Bethel went
into kick formation; Lakeland
rushed for a touchdown, success-fully
kicked a conversion and end-ed
the game 13-0.

At Honors Convo
Don Pasquale', Comic Opera,
To Be Staged By Turnau Players
Volume X XXVII—No. 2 Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. Thursday, September 29, 1960 Frank Gabelein, headmaster of the Stony Brook Boys' school, New
York, will speak at the opening formal academic convocation on Friday
at 10 a.m. in the fieldhouse.
The first in a series of four
evening convocations will be held
October 4 at 8 p.m. in the college
chapel. Featured in the program
that evening will be the Turnau
Opera players in a presentation of
the comic opera "Don Pasquale".
The opera will be sung in English
with specially designed scenery and
supplementary lighting for on-the-road
engagements.
Alan Baker, baritone and Caro-lyn
Chrisman, soprano, will sing
the leading roles in the opera by
Donizetti. Others in the production
are Ray DeVol, tenor; Eugene
Green, bass; Spiro Malas, bass;
and Lucille Sudlam, soprano.
The Turnau Opera Players be-gan
their work in 1955 under the
direction of the late Josef Turnau,
with a season of 38 performances
in New York. They have since be-come
one of the fastest rising
opera companies in America. Re-cently
they completed a series of
performances during the winter
season in Sarasota, Florida. Ac-cording
to the Sarasota Herald Tri-bune,
"... the secret fo the Turnau
players concerns freshness, love of
singing, good acting, and a certain
added dash."
"It is a notable compliment, re-flecting
Sarasota's warm reception
of the company, that it has been
invited to return for another season
next winter."
Choir Rehearses
Festival choir meets in the
college chapel every Monday
and Wednesday mornings im-mediately
following chapel. All
college and seminary students
and faculty members are wel-come
to sing in this choir, ac-cording
to Julius Whitinger, as-sistant
professor of music.
This choral group sings at the
Festival of Christmas, Founders
Week, and the annual spring
commencement concert.
All the members of the music
faculty alternate in directing
the chorus.
Interested students should
contact Mr. Whitinger.
Mantoux Tests
Required By All
Mantoux tests are scheduled to
be given in the student lounge of
the college building on Oct. 4 and
5, between the hours of 8 a.m. and
3 p.m. This test is to determine
whether a person is infected with
the germs causing tuberculosis.
All persons at the college are re-quired
to take advantage of this
service. This list includes faculty,
staff, and students of both the col-lege
and seminary.
Eunice Peterson, the health ser-vice
nurse, stated that the test is
very important, not only from a
personal standpoint but also for
the health of the college and com-munity.
by Ellen Polk
This coming Monday, at precise-ly
7:30 a.m., season opens on men
(bag limit-2). From that time
through the following Saturday
evening a topsy-turvy state will
characterize our Bethel campus.
That very Saturday is the one out
of 52 when dreams come true —
each girl can be assured of a date,
and no fellow has to spend a dime.
Yes, this coming week is the sea-son
of Nikolinas Dag, sophomore-sponsored
and traditional turna-bout,
when girls grow aggressive
and the fellows relax—ideally, at
least. At this time the feminine
counterpart plays the masculine
role, pays her date every courtesy
and the waiter the check.
Each girl must fashion a corsage
for her date, basing it on his name,
Cars Registered
It is necessary that everyone on
campus using a car have it regis-tered
in the student affairs office.
Students and faculty who do not
have their cars registered should
do so.

hobby, sport, chosen field, or what-ever
else pops into her mind. They
will be displayed by the boys and
judged at the program.
After presenting her date with
the corsage, the girl takes him out
for dinner, showing him—of course
—each courtesy. A Southern musi-cal
comedy will begin at 8:30 at
the Prudential building in Minne-apolis,
3701 Wayzata Boulevard.
There will be time afterwards for
powwows, bowling, houseparties,
etc.
General Director and Honorable
Gamewarden is James Spickel-meir.
Members of his committee
are Nancy Gustafson, program dir-ector;
LeRoyce Hohn, publicity dir-ector,
and Emily Mattson, stage
manager. Tickets will be on sale
next week in the student lounge
for 50 cents, which is a consider-able
reduction in price from past
years.
Spire Staff
Initiates New
Annual Format
by Peggy Leunk
Co-Literary Editor of the SPIRE
The Spire staff has been con-fronted
with the question, "why a
yearbook ?" Indeed, why is a pub-lication
of this kind necessary at
Bethel ?
The yearbook is produced for
the sake of the students
themselves; for their enjoyment
in recalling to mind pleasant ex-periences
of the past year. One
of the purposes of the yearbook is
identifying the faces of those
friends whom one has made in a
year at Bethel.
A yearbook is for assistance in
exhibiting Bethel college to those
apart from the campus life; to
those interested in Bethel as pro-spective
students.
Another purpose is to represent
the students in each phase of their
college lives, academically, spirit-ually,
and socially.
The Spire staff feels that to
have an accurate representation we
must present the Bethel student
as a fully integrated student; a
student with many faces, but a
student with the ability to know
himself and to be able to assemble
these many facets into his total
being.
The yearbook is a student pub-lication
and the student should
feel a definite part of its eventual
accomplishment; and with the
thought of integration in mind,
The Spire staff would endeavor to
present to the student an individual
part in the completion of the 1960-
61 yearbook.
A contest is to be conducted
within the various academic de-partments
and the students are
asked to participate in this con-
(continued p. 3)
The college band, under the dir-ection
of Julius Whitinger, will
play the processional and reces-sional.
The marshals are Thelma
Frederickson and George Dvirnik,
who maintained the highest grade
point average of the junior class
of the college and the middle class
of the seminary last year.
Those receiving freshman honors
are students who maintained a 2.5
average in their freshman year.
They are: Sharon Dickau, Curtis
Hallstrom, Paul Johnson, Alan
Larson, Annette Larson, Emily
Mattson, Richard Nelson and
James Spickelmier.
Full tuition scholarships of $550
were awarded to the following
upper classmen who maintained a
2.5 average in their junior and
senior year: Anna Anderson, Mar-ilyn
Benson, Paul Edwin Carlson,
Wanda Chandler, Raymond Dun-can,

Donald Lantz
Teaches and
Works on PhD
by Marilyn Benson
Donald Lantz is one of the fac-ulty
members currently working
on his Ph.D. at the University of
Minnesota. A graduate of Wheaton
college, Mr. Lantz, assistant pro-fessor
of biology, is now at Bethel
on a full-time basis. He first be-gan
teaching at Bethel as a labor-atory
assistant in the biological
science department while he at-tended
seminary.
He has also taught at Whittier
high school, the University of Min-nesota,
and St. Cloud State col-lege.
In addition to this varied
teaching experience, Mr. Lantz has
worked in the field of student
counseling. His knowledge and
background in this area have been
put to use on campus by the fac-ulty's
student personnel committee.
Underlying his reasons for corn-ing
to the Bethel campus is his

Rachel Koefod Charms Audience;
Plays In Concert Season Opener
Pert, diminuative Rachel Koefod
thoroughly charmed her audience
as she opened the concert season at
Bethel college with a piano recital
on Sept. 20 in the college chapel
under the auspices of the cultural
council.
Miss Koefod presented a pro-gram
from the standard piano lit-erature
but chose works which had
a strong popular appeal. The selec-tion
ranged from Scarlotti sonatas
to the Samuel Barber Excursion
No. 3. Miss Koefod had a technical
fluency at her command which was
especially noteworthy in her deli-cately
controlled pianissimo. The
softer works generally were skill-fully
presented. The two works by
Brahms, Intermezzo in B Flat
Major and Variations on a Theme
by Pagannini were well developed
and executed and were the high-lights
of the evening.
The presentation of some major
work in its entirety was absent.
This and the fact that so many
short selections were presented
gave the program a sort of pot-pourri
effect. If one felt particu-larly
dispeptic at the moment, he
might call the program a program
of piano moods. Music of the ro-mantic
period predominated and
music of a truly contemporary na-ture
was largely ignored.
Although possessing a firm
touch, the very great fortes were
out of the dynamic range of Miss
Koefod. It is regrettable that she
did not scale down her presenta-tion
so that the climactic fortis-simo
would not become pushed or
be inadequate. More attention could
have been given to understanding
the expressive possibilities inher-ent
in the subordinate configura-tions
of the music. This lack was
especially prevalent in the Chopin.
Writer's note — One quality of
an art is that it is a "subtle devia-tion
from the norm." When the
deviation does not exist the art
work is lifeless. When the devia-tion
is obvious (so true in our pre-sentation
of the gospel song) ar-tistic
unity and meaning are de-stroyed
and only sentimentality re-mains.
Judgment in this area is
dependent upon the qualities of
artistic awareness and imagery.
These qualities are not developed
just by intellectual exercise but
rather by living as a poet with an
awareness of life on its emotional
and aesthetic levels.
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS

Editorial
Bonhoeffer Example Found Applicable
Know the Campaign Issues
To Contemporary Discipleship At Bethel
As far as the campus is concerned, religion appears
to be the major issue in the forthcoming general election on Nov. 8.
Never before has a man's religion played so important a role, except
possibly in the Al Smith campaign in 1928.
Granted, religion may be one of the valid issues in the campaign, but
students and others blindly judge the potential ability of a candidate by
his religious beliefs and convictions without considering which ticket the
man is running on or his party platform.
Do we know how a candidate stands on such issues as national de-fense,
foreign policy, the underdeveloped world, the U.N., agriculture,
civil rights, aid to education, veterans affairs or the American Indian ?
These are problems of which everyone of us, as college students, should
be keenly aware. We must form opinions and ideas concerning these
important points. When we decide what we believe concerning these
areas and resolve which of the two parties or which candidates we
more closely agree, we should join the party or back the candidate of
our choice. As intelligent citizens, this is our part in a free and demo-cratic
society. — LEB
Senate Program Aims
For Tangible Results
On a gray dawn fifteen scant years ago a mo-dern
martyr was executed by special order of the
Nazi General staff. In eighteen years since winning
his Ph.D. from Berlin, a 21 year old theologian had
sparked the resistance to the Nazi Regime of the
Confessing church. Issued a call from his native
church, Dietrich Bonhoeffer spent his last years in
pastoring the Confessional German church.
His prolific pen and dedicated mind produced
works reminiscent of the Apostolic age. Life To-gether
flows from seminary months living and
teaching under surveillance of the Gestapo. Of all
his works, one stands as a monument of theological
realism. This hero, to whom the gas chambers and
ovens of Buchenwald were no strangers, paid with
his life The Cost of Discipleship.
Seen in the abstract, life is not difficult to
promise to Christ. Yet Bonhoeffer sears the con-science
with his concrete walk on the path of the
sacred gibbet. Grace is costly and meant the sur-render
of each day to the searching light of the
Cross. "No Way without the going; no Truth with-out
the telling; no life without the living." An Eng-lish
officer, one of many whom Dietrch comforted
in Flossenburg prison camp, remembers forever that
eighth day of April, 1945. Bonhoeffer took him
aside, saying, "This is the end, but for me it is the
beginning of life."
What sort of living, what manner of telling,
what cost of going for the Bethel campus this
year? For this young German it was a prison camp;
for us is it a new car, a split-level house, a cultured
life? When shall we realize that grace is costly,
even as the price paid for us by the gracious Lord.
This world is not our permanent home. The endless
round of pleasure and the uncommitted life lead to
despair and nothingness. Our hearts are restless
till they find rest in God. Day by day and each
passing moment require strength to live. The prison
yard is not Bonhoeffer's home; the prospect of an
atomic grave need not slacken our faith.
Let us learn the lesson of a modern disciple!
He committed culture to the Christ and paid will-ingly
the price. On that grey April morn, Dietrich
Bonhoeffer, age 39, lived what he wrote; the way
of the Cross leads him Home!
July 21, 1944
"May God in his mercy lead us
through these times. But above
all may he lead us to himself!"

from Letters and Papers from Prison
by Bruce Leafblad
Student Senate President
A positive program of aggressive leadership with tangible results —
This characterizes the spirit which is pervading the student senate. The
senate has already had two official business sessions this fall. One of
these was an all-day workshop in which the basic program for the en-tire
year was planned by the cabinet and the senate councils. All signs
point to an interesting and busy year for student government at Bethel.
A positive program of aggressive leadership with tangible results —
This probably sounds interesting, but what do we really mean by it?
Well, let's break it down and take a closer look at the three principle
elements.
The first element is that of a positive program. By this we mean
that we have specific objectives in mind; there is purpose behind what
we do as a governmental body. To be satisfied with merely functioning
in a traditional manner, without subjecting our entire program to the
dictates of worthwhile goals, would be completely out of harmony with
our philosophy of effective student government. Tangent to these goals
are the methods of implementation which we believe will best achieve
the ends toward which our entire program is directed.
Some of the objectives to which the senate will be devoting much
time and effort this year: 1. An increase in the operational efficiency
of the senate; 2. A concern with matters and issues of a more signifi-cant
nature; 3. Greater participation in the senate by non-voting student
leaders; 4. A greater measure of personal interest displayed by the
student body; 5. Constant improvement in faculty, administration, and
student rapport; 6. Greater degree of co-ordination between the senate
and the student body; 7. Better communication between the senate and
the student body; 8. Implementation of a long-range planning program
extending for more than one year. This is just a portion of the many
objectives which are the foundations of this year's senate program. The
spirit of the senate is characterized by a positive program.
The second element is aggressive leadership. We do not mean to
imply anything negative when we use the term "aggressive". An ag-gressive
leader is one who is, first of all, completely "sold" on the
benefits, the intrinsic worth, and the underlying purposes of student
government. This type of leader recognizes that he is not just a leader
— he is also a servant. He is neither just a leader, nor just a servant.
The role of an aggressive leader is a unique, seemingly dichotomous
position in which his work is characterized by a faithful diligence be-fore
those whom he serves; yet he does not sit idly waiting for the
next command to come, but rather goes to those whom he serves to find
out what he can do for them. An aggressive leader does not assume
that "all is well" simply because students do not fill his desk with com-plaints
and problems; he goes to the students to find out what the
problems and complaints are — and he does something about them! The
aggressive leader is not afraid to take the problems of his students be-fore
those who have some control over the circumstances which sur-round
those problems, and he does not hesitate to speak out firmly,
frankly, and honestly in the students' behalf. He is not afraid to believe
something can be done about these matters. The spirit of the senate is
characterized by aggressive leadership.
The final element is that of tangible results. In the overall program
for the year, the senate aims to devote much of its time to matters of
such a significant nature that improvement in these areas will make a
considerable change in the complexion of these areas of concern. In
other words, the senate is directing its efforts toward making substan-tial
changes in the sore spots of campus life — changes that will make
Bethel a better place for everyone, and not just for this year, but for
years to come. The spirit of the senate is characterized by an aim at
tangible results.
Well, that's it — a positive program, aggressive leadership, tan-gible
results. That is the spirit of your senate. Do we have your support ?

"The Direct Approach," the

exhibition, will be on display in
the Bethel student lounge from
Oct. 1-31. Sponsored jointly by
school publications and the cul-tural
council, the display consists
of a selection of photographs by
noted American photographers.
The photographers, Edward Wes-ton,
Ansel Adams, Brett Weston,
and Pirkle Jones, have developed
a style which is particularly suited
to depicting the chosen subject
matter of these four photogra-phers,
natural forms and objects,
found mainly in the Pacific coast
region of the United States.
Their attitude is summarized in
a catalog prepared for a showing
of this exhibition at the University
of Redlands, Redlands, Calif.: "The
photographers . . . have been lead-ers
in asserting the essential char-acter
of photography as an inde-pendent
art. They have been
among the chief exponents of
`creative-expressive' photography
which embodies or symbolizes some
unique aspect of the photographer's
experience of reality as opposed to
that conception of photography
based only upon popular or fam-iliar
vision."
The exhibition consists of
twenty-eight original prints, as
well as an explanatory text.

commitment to public education.
Mr. Lantz says about Bethel,
"Here there is acceptance of the
individual. It is comparable to a
family relationship; we may not
always agree, but we -usually ac-cept
one another." This range of
intellectual freedom at Bethel not
found in other Christian schools is
one of the qualities he praises.
Mr. Lantz lives in St. Paul with
his wife Marilyn and their three
children, two girls and one boy.
Mrs. Lantz, a home economics and
science teacher, has taught in both
elementary and secondary schools.
Camping is an avid interest of the

Mr. Lantz is the protestant chap-lain

of the national guard. Both he and

First Game is
13-7 Defeat
by Arnie Doerksen
The Bethel Royals met the ma-son
City Trojans in an exhibition
game on Friday, September 16, to
kick off the 1960 football series.
The Royals revealed their offen-sixe
tactics early in the first quar-ter
when Ken Baird completed a
pass to Dave Hagfeldt, who ran
49 yards for a touchdown. The ex-tra
point was then scored by Ken
Baird.
With the Royals leading 7-0,
Gary Yezek led the Trojans out of
their wooden horse to push the
Royals back 73 yards and score a
touchdown. However, a tackle by
175 pound Don McKelvey fouled
up their try for the conversion.
Excitement was in the stands
during the second quarter when
Mason City made a splendid kick
to Bethel's five-yard line. At this
point, the Royals defensive line
went into action, not only holding
the line, but pushing the oppon-ents
to a 38 yard loss and forcing
them to kick. Bill Holzworth re-turned
the punt to Bethel's 40 yard
line in a spectacular run. Ken Baird
then kept the bandwagon rolling
with another 38 yard run only to
see it all smashed when Mason
City completed a pass for a touch-down,
and continued their pressure
for a halftime score of 13-7.
The last five minutes of the
game saw the Trojans hammering
on the Royal line and sending it
from the five to the three to the
one-yard line, but finding it im-pregnatile.
At this time, the Roy-als
put forth their final bid for
glory. Ken Baird, not seeing any-one
to pass to, careened through
the opposition for a 30 yard gain.
The death blow came as Mason
City intercepted Baird's last pass,
to give Bethel its first loss of the
season, 13-7.
Captain of Bethel's 1960-61
cheerleading squad is Bonnie Blom-gren,
a sophomore from Tyler,
Minn. This is Bonnie's second year
as a member of the squad.
An innovation this year—John
Davis, a transfer student from
Des Moines, Iowa, will be the only
male member of the cheerleading
squad. Freshmen women comprise
the rest of the squad.
Jeanne Gould, of Waukegan, Ill.,
was chairman of the senior class
play in high school, was in pep
club and a girls' water ballet.
Hailing from Huntley, Minn., Anita
Sheplee was a yell leader for three
years and also homecoming queen
in high school. Also, a high school
cheerleader, Betty Guida, of Tyler,
Minn., was pep club secretary,
president of a Bible club, and ac-tive
in her area Youth for Christ.
Bethel's football squad collided
with a hard-hitting Lakeland line
on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 24,
and was handed its second defeat
of the 1960-61 season.
During the first quarter, the
Bethel Royals, with excellent block-ing
and tackling plunged and pass-ed
to what looked to be their first
success of the year, holding the
Lakeland eleven to a mere 22 yard
gain while they rushed for 7'3
yards, passed for 19 yards and ob-tained
three first downs. Drizzly
weather and a soggy gridiron did-n't
seem to faze the Royals as they
ripped holes in the Lakeland line.
But Bethel's ambitious hopes were
dashed by two Lakeland touch-downs
in the second half.
Mike Askley, Lakeland end,
charged four yards on a 25 yard
pass to score the first touchdown
in the third quarter. The conver-sion
try failed, but the play left
a hole in Bethel's line when Jack
McNaughton, Bethel end, suffered
a dislocated elbow. A combination
of errors and weather conditions
forced the Royals back to their
own two yard line. Bethel retreated
from the immediate danger zone
as an intercepted Lakeland pass by
Bill Holzworth earned Bethel a
first down. Launching a fierce at-tack,
the Bethel eleven hammered
in vain at a solid Lakeland line.
On the fourth down, Bethel went
into kick formation; Lakeland
rushed for a touchdown, success-fully
kicked a conversion and end-ed
the game 13-0.
